Each line in Budgie starts with a function name. If there are arguments, they are preceded by a space-padded colon following the function name, all separated by spaces.
print : "Budgie!"
Function: print
Argument: "Budgie!"
This will compile to:
In C#: System.Console.WriteLine("Budgie!");
In Python: print("Budgie!")
Many commands, including print, may take in multiple arguments:
print : "Chirp" "chirp!"
Function: print
Arguments: "Chirp", "chirp!"
Parenthesis
You can keep spaces inside your arguments by wrapping characters in parenthesis. This tells the compiler to treat the space as part of the argument instead of a separator.
print : ("Hello world!")
Function: print
Argument: "Hello world!"
Recursion
To pipe the output of one command into another, wrap the inner command with{}brackets.
